14 Year Old Shocks Judges On X Factor

Filed under: 2006 Contestants

14 year old Paris Graham-Jones certainly gave the judges a surprise they hadn’t bargained for on last weeks X Factor show when she sang an opera song called “Time To Say Goodbye”, and wowed them with her voice.

All three judges were so impressed that they unanimously voted her through to boot camp, only then to be told by the Royal Northern College of Music student that she could not go through because instead of being 16 she was infact only 14 years old!

She said she had misled producers about her age because she had wanted Simon to hear her voice and she promised to come back when she was old enough.
